Abstract
Abstract Landslides are a significant cause of property loss in the United States. For that reason, planners must become familiar with the nature of landslide problems and methods for dealing with them. In this article we review three methods of assessing landslide hazards and present the results of a test of the methods against actual landslide data. Unfortunately, none of the methods performs well. Until further research improves the accuracy of techniques for assessing landslide risk, planners must take advantage of the best available geological and engineering expertise to identify areas of high risk. An essential part of that process is to take the locations of previous landslides into account.
